The Walking Dead 6.9 "No Way Out" - mid season premiere (spoilers)

[NewJeffCT]

Now that walkers have shown up inside the gates of Alexandria, Rick and the other survivors are scared and outnumbered.

REMINDER - the episode runs 2-3 minutes long, so set your DVR accordingly.

I've seen some people online calling tonight's episode the Valentine's Day Massacre - so, expect a lot of death. I'm pretty sure little Sam is a goner, but who else?

You can watch the first four minutes here:

1. a video recap

of the first half of season six.

[Rhythm]

2. Super excited... and thrilled that a friend from back home is ~in~ this!

Will be getting dinner on early, and then settling-in for a few previous episodes before the premier!!!

My friend Matt -- a long-time actor in NC/SC/GA, as well as one hell of a DJ -- is one of the bikers in Negan's gang!
(the bald one with the stripes in his beard)

[NewJeffCT]

5. cool

i will keep an eye out for him.

[Iggo]

104. Nice post, Coral.

[NewJeffCT]

105. yes

and, I'll have to watch that opener again - they were on screen for only a few seconds before being blown away. I was like, "wait, wasn't there that guy from DU's friend in there?" and it was over.

[pinboy3niner]

6. Neat

I'm sure his character's death will be quick and painless.

[Baitball Blogger]

3. Jump for joy, jump for joy.

Sam won't die. In all likelihood, someone will die to save him. It will only make us hate him more.

Besides, Carol isn't within shanking reach of him.

[Solly Mack]

4. I'm excited!

[NewJeffCT]

[NewJeffCT]

10. it's been a long wait!

[ebayfool]

9. We're so ready!

[NewJeffCT]

11. I'm getting there

not quite set up yet

[Hassin Bin Sober]

79. Wait. Is that Daryl?

[ebayfool]

92. A DarylCat - ain't the internet awesome?!

I love the things that are just waiting to be found!





http://comicbook.com/2015/11/02/this-is-what-daryl-from-the-walking-dead-would-look-like-as-a-ca/

[Hassin Bin Sober]

93. Lol.

[ebayfool]

94. My cats would kick my ass if I tried to put that on 'em.

They got the Daryl badass 'tude but no sense of humor!

[NewJeffCT]

12. your dad was an asshole

great line from Carl in the midseason finale... just turned it on to see that.

[bettyellen]

13. 26 minutes to go! I have missed your threads- and seeing Solly and Baitball around too!

[Lisa D]

14. At the mid-season finale, February seemed soooo far away.

I'm glad we're finally here!

[NewJeffCT]

15. Yeah

there this guy on twitter I follow that's been posting a daily countdown till the next episode. It was so high back in December that I stopped watching his posts until late January.

[charlie and algernon]

16. I can't wait.....

[NewJeffCT]

17. here we go

just about to start

[NewJeffCT]

18. back to the scene

from after the mid season finale.

[charlie and algernon]

19. I like this guy playing Negan's Lt.

I wonder if he's becoming a main character too.

[charlie and algernon]

21. Jesus! or not.

[Cassiopeia]

20. Had TWD on all day in the background.

Woohoo!

[txwhitedove]

22. Ha! Hello, Daryl!

[NewJeffCT]

25. yeah

that was quite the turnaround.

[NewJeffCT]

23. BOOM! Nibble on that, suckers!

Nice job, Daryl.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

24. knew it!

awesome start!!!!!!

[NewJeffCT]

26. yes

that was quite dramatic. I thought maybe one would escape.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

27. same here

and or Daryl ending up with a new bike.

[charlie and algernon]

28. I forgot about that RPG. My first thought was that it was the Hilltop community to the rescue.

[NewJeffCT]

29. Father Gabriel taking Judith to the church

and Rick trusting him

[NewJeffCT]

30. Faith without works is dead

more heavy handed symbolism from TWD

[bettyellen]

31. Why did the meat slathered group split up and let him take the baby?

[NewJeffCT]

32. I think Rick thought

the herd of walkers was too thick to get through to the armory.

[bettyellen]

33. Well, they could have dine a better job with the slathering of entrails...Carol knows what it takes!

Nice to see you again- and thanks for the thread!

[NewJeffCT]

34. nice seeing you as well

i was looking forward to posting this thread.

[bettyellen]

37. the exploded bikers was a nice touch. and that kid lasting a while is a relief...

not that it will happen. Just watched Episode 1 of Dead Set again on Youtube. SO good, have you seen it?

[Liberal Veteran]

108. That's because Carol is a badass. Somehow Jessie just looked stupid in her zombie vestements.

I'm actually kinda sad about Jessie. I rather liked her. She wasn't the greatest parent, but at least she did fight the wolves instead of cowering like the rest of the townsfolk.

[NewJeffCT]

109. yeah

She "got it" before the rest of the Alexandrians, but she paid the price for Sam's trauma.

[bettyellen]

110. I had been thinking they screwed up not smearing their heads at all. they went for his fresh human

scalp.

[charlie and algernon]

35. Surprise Cast member tonight - the Negan Stooge?

[bettyellen]

112. The Wolf!

[txwhitedove]

36. Wolf man using Dr. lady as bait?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

38. oh thank god

buh bye Sam

[NewJeffCT]

46. and Jessie

and, the big brother.. and, maybe Carl.

[Baitball Blogger]

39. Holy crap!

What the hell!

[bettyellen]

40. Was Coral shot in the eye? Stabbed? WTF?

[NewJeffCT]

49. yes

Carl was shot in the eye

[bettyellen]

52. I didn't hear the shot!

[Laffy Kat]

45. I fell asleep watching and just woke up.

Was Carl shot? I missed it. Somebody talk to me!!!

[charlie and algernon]

41. @#&^%#^%$@&#@#(&(!&%(%(#$

FUCK

[Cassiopeia]

42. aw shit.

Not him.

[NewJeffCT]

43. Wow

there goes Carl...

right in the eye.

[Stardust]

50. I missed how Carl got it in the eye.

[Laffy Kat]

51. Me too. Are we sure he did? nt

[NewJeffCT]

53. Jessie's oldest son had a gun pointed at Rick

Michonne stabbed him in the back, and his gun went off and he shot Carl as he was falling

[Stardust]

59. Thank you. My provider may have cut out a bit, or I could've spaced out. n/t

[ohnoyoudidnt]

44. Awesome nt

[charlie and algernon]

47. This is the Walking Dead's St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

[Cassiopeia]

57. yes it is

this is getting to be a brutal episode.

[myrna minx]

48. Wow, I didn't see any of this coming.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

56. For sure, this is a good one!

[NewJeffCT]

54. damn

Denise was changing the Wolf, he saves her, then he gets shot by Carol.

[EL34x4]

97. He was doomed as it was.

They were taking too long getting to the infirmary to amputate his arm.

[bettyellen]

55. RICK!!!!

[NewJeffCT]

58. this has been an intense episode

My cable went out a few minutes after a commercial, so I hope my DVR caught it

[Cassiopeia]

63. It plays again after talking dead.

Might want to record that one just to be safe.

I thought for sure they were going to kill Glenn again.

[bettyellen]

60. Never thought I would like Gabriel.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

67. +1

[bettyellen]

61. WHOA! That's all I am saying.

[NewJeffCT]

64. this is definitely

one of the most intense episodes they've had in a while

[bettyellen]

66. Since the rescue at Terminus I think. Alexandria was never this exciting.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

76. I think this one will be up there among my favorites

I'll be watching this one again later tonight

[NewJeffCT]

101. I might have it as my #2 all time

the very first episode - Days Gone Bye - is still my favorite, and I'm not sure anything can change that.

[Baitball Blogger]

62. Best moment ever!

Abraham coming to Glenn's rescue.

[charlie and algernon]

65. This. This right here is my all-time favorite episode.

"Appreciate it."

[NewJeffCT]

68. Deus Ex Sasha and Abe

with assault rifles on the walls... saving Glenn as he almost dies again

[charlie and algernon]

69. Gotta make sure Glenn is still around for later.

To meet a certain person and play some baseball.

[charlie and algernon]

70. doesn't that fuck their water supply?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

78. I'd probably want to pump it out,

and make sure nothing comes crawling out of it anyway.

[Baitball Blogger]

71. What was Glenn staring on Daryl's arm?

Is Daryl bitten?

[NewJeffCT]

72. I don't know

to be honest

[Joe Shlabotnik]

75. I think he got stabbed early on by Negan's guy.

[NewJeffCT]

80. Yes

he got stabbed by the guy behind the truck, but I'm sure Glenn has seen people hurt/injured before.

[Solly Mack]

73. That was awesome!!!!

[Baitball Blogger]

74. Loved, loved, loved that episode.

[Solly Mack]

81. I clapped at every last second save. I cheered. I yelled. I laughed.

When that katana came through Ron's chest, I clapped and cheered (and even said Ha!).

[Joe Shlabotnik]

77. Alexandria is now an army,

I'd think twice about fucking with them if I were an outside group.

[Solly Mack]

82. I loved how that couple was looking out the window then running out the door with knife and machete

[NewJeffCT]

83. the residents

did a nice job of joining in and helping Rick and company out

[Solly Mack]

84. They did. Stepped up and did themselves proud.

[NewJeffCT]

85. Valentine's message

[Solly Mack]

86. Oh, that's bad.

lol

[NewJeffCT]

88. here's another one

[Solly Mack]

89. heh

[bettyellen]

113. LOL

[Islandurp]

87. Got rid of 3 characters I hated and Carl gets his eyepatch.

Solid episode.

[amerikat]

90. Question about Negan.

Was the biker leader Negan?

Heard he played a major role in the novel.

[NewJeffCT]

91. No

he was one of Negan's lieutenants.

[amerikat]

95. thanks.

Wishing I had read the graphic novel.

[Iris]

116. Daryl and Negan link?

Major spoilers here, but

A Link Between Daryl And Negan That Viewers Missed In 'The Walking Dead' Midseason Premier

[CrawlingChaos]

96. Oh this thread is killing me! I won't be able to see it until tomorrow!

But of course I read every spoiler because I can't resist!

Good to see your threads back in action NewJeffCT

[NewJeffCT]

98. sorry you won't be able to see it

until today. It was an excellent episode. Glad you like the Walking Dead threads

[suffragette]

99. Wow! Some days you win.

They're ALL your people, Rick.

[NewJeffCT]

100. yes

they followed him out into the zombie infested night.

[suffragette]

111. Against all odds

Cue Phil Collins

[NewJeffCT]

102. Interesting catch in the opening scene

there was a car in the distance - way in the background of the scene. So, backup for the biker gang?

117. Here's another article with a video (possible spoilers)

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/between-daryl-negan-viewers-missed-130055619.html

[NewJeffCT]

103. A few more memes from Sunday Night

[Liberal Veteran]

106. I read the comics and was a little disappointed it is pronounced NEEgan instead of Naygan.

Just sayin.

[NewJeffCT]

107. I had always pronounced in NAY gun as well

so, I was surprised when I learned the pronunciation as well.

[GOLGO 13]

114. Now that's how you do a "Last Stand"!

Thought there should have been a LOT more Z's on the street after the fight but it's OK. Not enough Z splatter on the survivors considering all the close quarter/hand to hand fighting. Guess they're making a effort to cut down the gore perhaps? So silly.

Now I wonder how long they drag out introducing Negan & "Lucille"?

Guess Carl is going to rock the "emo hair look" from here on out.

Glad to see Gabriel becoming more of an archangel & finally pick up the sword.

A group of outlaw bikers VS Sasha, Abraham & Daryl? I knew that 3 of Rick's most bad-ass fighters were going to wipe the floor with them.

[NewJeffCT]

115. supposedly

they have a "time jump" after the mid season premiere. Not sure if it's weeks, months, or longer?

http://cartermatt.com/195417/the-walking-dead-season-6-show-boss-on-possible-episode-10-time-jump/

[GOLGO 13]

118. Yes, I heard something to this affect.

Considering how slow the show generally moves I'll gladly take time jumps to get to more action.
